No problem Zotty, this whole thing is certainly entertaining. I'm making progress and have a couple things up my sleeve.

1000D Commander Pro Chassis Lighting setup

Connected to LED Channel 1 of the Supplied Commander Pro is the Chassis Lighting Connector, The Cable heads off to the Front of the Case to Feed both the Front IO LED's and the Sails Logo in front of the Front fans.

 

When looking up towards the top right corner of the case (internally) by the rear of the Front Fan Tray you should see an RGB female Socket hanging.

To the above mentioned socket you can attach 6 Corsair Lighting Pro Strips or a Corsair RGB Fan LED Hub and 6 Corsair RGB Fans.

In Icue.

 

The 1000D Commander Pro has the Normal 2 lighting channels like the Normal Commander Pro but also has a Chassis Lighting option

As you can see in the above image you have 4 LED's for the Sails Logo and 18 LED's for the Front IO panel.

I have 6 strips for internal Lighting on mine

Yay!!.. what did you find the issue to be in the end dude?

 

Well, right here I could do a little bragging, but I'm an honest guy. What I did was,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nothing. I turned everything off to do some things with my monitor, turned it back on and Voila' , let there be light. This morn when I turned everything back on it went back to the funky thing, I shut it down and then back on, and lights on again. They don't act exactly as they should in accord with the ICue software but that's something to be worked on next week

Hi Zotty. Quick question for you about the 1000D "built-in" Commander Pro.

 

You said, above, that in iCUE there should be the chassis lighting section and two lighting channels. I see the chassis lighting section and lighting channel 2. But I do not see a lighting channel 1.

 

Is that because I never plugged anything into the RGB female cable socket that hangs down from the top-front of the case (that you circled in the photo above)?

 

I didn't realize that we could plug a fan hub into that. Thought it was just for LED strips. That's good to know, so thanks for that info, as well as for the thread in general.

Hi buddy.. yep exactly that dude.. that plug is channel 1 ;) and you need to go into 'Lighting Setup' and add what ever you have plugged into that female socket

I will definitely do that. Frees up a slot on my second CoPro which will come in handy. Thanks again for the info.

HI Guys

 

Front fans are in.

 

so. firstly.. RGB extension cables are very much needed if you want those RGB Fan LED Hubs hidden away.

I recommend around 20cm in length.

 

cables made by DevBiker

 

Starting to get somewhere in the back now

and minimal cables on show in the front.

i ran all the cables from the outer fans down the gap between the outer and inner fans and then along the bottom of the inner fans.. I also used Corsair PWM extension cables and 2 'y' splitters on the Commander Pros channels 5 and 6 so i have all from fans on one Commander Pro.

My 1000D arrived missing the top 140mm fan tray, and I can't seem to find 120mm top fan tray, every time I try to buy one it says sold out so it looks like I'm going to have to make one. The only good news is I now have two ASUS Strix RTX2080Ti OC cards .
